I came across a page on LostPedia that has unavailable videos and no description. Does anyone know what Lost University was and what it entailed?

So, we all know our characters are heavily flawed since that's pretty much the point of the series (plus how boring would a show about perfect people be??) so it's easy to get bogged down in some of their worst qualities like Jack's rigidity, Locke's zealotry, Kate's dishonesty, Ana Lucia's... well... Ana Lucia - but hell, even Keamy makes good eggs!

So - I challenge you to say something nice about an unpopular character and infuse the fandom with some positivity!

I'll go first: though she went about it the wrong way, Ana Lucia was fiercely loyal and just wanted to protect the people she cared about.

Your turn - go!

Kate got on my nerves all the time. The way she’d go between Jack and then Sawyer. The way she got jealous when she thought Jack and Juliet had a thing after she was with Sawyer??? When she didn’t listen to Jack about going with him to find Michael and ends up secretly following them anyway causing trouble. I have more but I can’t think of any more at the moment 😂

That's right folks it's a big day LOST: Circle Season 6 is now available!
Here is a clip to celebrate the release (this combines the lighthouse and cave scenes from season 6)!
The entire season has been released and that's eight episodes total!

If you want to find out more about the project check out the website here.

More information on Season 6's release is available here.

Clips are available at the bottom on of this post or here.

This means we have only one season remaining! Season 7 will premiere it's first four episodes on May 19th (along with another excellent Lost: Circly surprise!) and the series finale will premiere on May 23rd just like it did once upon a yesteryear. I can't wait to share it all with you!! The End is nigh!!

If you need a link to the series you can send me a DM here on Reddit or The Island: A LOST Fan Server on Discord which you can also find linked directly in the sidebar of r/lost!

If You're New to the project here is a rundown on it's goals and features:
Lost: Circle is a brand new and currently ongoing chronological fan edit of lost that tells the story through the lens of experience. This adheres to the cardinal time travel rule of lost Whatever Happened Happened. This means that the time travel moments the characters experience will happen when they happened to that person. So on day 108+ after the crash. Not towards the beginning of the narrative.

This fan edit features a lot of cool additions including:

• All on-screen opening credits have been removed for seamless scene by scene viewing

-30+ HOURS of additional music from Michael Giacchino and many other amazing artists

-Additional or alternative musical montages

 -New shot by shot color grading on the entire series to bring the footage from multiple seasons in line with each other. Removed orange tint on Nigeria, Tunisia, and Iraq set scenes.

-End credits sequences from scratch to credit the entire cast and crew of a given episode

-All of the foreign language dialog that didn't have subtitles on it (IE. a lot of Jins on island dialog for example) has been translated and subtitles have been created and added.

-No split-screen in any of the episodes

-The Missing Pieces (only available in stereo) have been remixed from stereo into 5.1 using AI audio processors to lift elements from a sound mix.

-All episodes are presented in 1080p 5.1 surround, upon completion of the last season THIS SUMMER a 4k HDR remaster will begin!! I will also re-release the original cut of lost in this manner when the LOST: CIRCLE one is complete!

And so much more!! I've spend countless hours on every aspect of this edit and I think the results have turned out pretty great!! The feedback I've received thus far has been so enthusiastic and I'd like to thank everyone who has reached out!!!

Just finished watching for the first time, and maybe I missed it but what is the temple in season 6?

It just seems so random and I feel like they could have aired the show without it ...

On another note, I loved this show, can't wait to watch it again!!

What are some story arcs the writers originally planned that didn't end up happening? Ex. Walt, Eko, Claire, Babies, Danielle, etc. What was planned for those characters?

OK, I get it, you do everything for your child. Everything. Wait! What? So does it entitle you to kill innocent people too? Seriously? Does it entitle you to take innocent lives? It does not make you a better person than those who kidnapped your son. Actually, you become a worse person. Is it OK to become a cold-blooded serial killer whether or not it is about your son? I mean, of course you do everything you can but killing innocent people (Anna Lucia and Libby) is not right at all. This action poses very serious moral questions.

These actions can be perceived as morally reprehensible.

What is more, he knew that his son was all right and was not tortured, was not in danger but still, he was acting like a paranoid idiot. I think he very much overshot the mark.

I think he also overdid things when he felt zero empathy towards others. OK, I get it that he was looking for his son but come on, he super selfish.

Michael's decision to betray his fellow survivors by siding with the Others and turning against them can also be viewed as deceitful and selfish. Why did he not just play with open cards by revealing the deal (exchanging Ben for Walt)? I am sure they all could have come up with a plan regarding setting Ben free.

And he was such a hypocrite! He wanted to do everything for his son, yet he did not really know him. He was not even interested in his son's apparent paranormal abilities.

SPOILERS

I just reached the episode after she shot Shannon, and I’ll be frank- i fucking hate her. I could give two shits about her backstory or her bullshit trauma from shooting someone on duty. Who the FUCK does she think she is treating them Michael Jin & Sawyer like that? Then acts like Sayid is the problem after she shot Shan in front of him.

I’m finding it hard to restrain my temper with her & want to know if she gets better soon, because this is agony. I loathe her existence at the moment. 🫣

Did anyone else notice in Glass Ballerina (s3 ep2) the guy who was having an affair with Sun & who jumped after Jin threatened him was only staying on the second floor, yet he crashed into Jin’s car windshield like he had jumped from the 20th floor?

What would you say your favorite of the first five season finales is? My personal favorite has to be the third one, Through the Looking Glass

I'm only discounting the series finale since it's the finale for the entire show rather than just a single season

That's all I have to say, only started a week ago I'm on season 1 still. But this man's hair is majestic

Warning – long rant incoming.

So a lot of the discourse I hear surrounding this show is the Man of Science, Man of Faith discussion, usually juxtaposing Jack and Locke’s different worldviews and treating it as though the show portrays the arc of Jack’s transformation from a Man of Science into a Man of Faith.

And that’s always bothered me.

Because I think people get that wrong.

At the start of the show, right when the survivors arrive on the island, Jack and Locke almost instantly butt heads. Jack is practically desperate to leave the island, doing everything he can to either get them rescued or keep them alive just long enough for help to show up. Locke, on the other hand, is enthralled by the island and its mysteries and immediately goes about exploring and investigating the island, convinced that there’s something special about it and that everyone who survived the crash was meant to end up here and that there’s some grand plan for them.

This comes to a head in early S2, when Locke actually dubs himself and Jack the Man of Faith and Man of Science, respectively. This conversation occurs inside the Swan station, when they’ve just met Desmond and are arguing (as usual) about whether or not to push the button. Locke demands of Jack, in one of the show’s best exchanges:

Locke: “Why do you find it so hard to believe?”

Jack: “Why do you find it so easy?”

Locke: “It’s never been easy.”

And this is what people base their interpretations of the Man of Science, Man of Faith idea on – that Locke, the Man of Faith, believes in the Island and the magical, mysterious things about it, and that there’s some greater force pulling all of them there; while Jack, the Man of Science, refuses to accept that any of what Locke says is true, because to any reasonable outside person, it would seem utterly insane. And the whole arc of their relationship becomes Locke slowly convincing Jack that he was right, and that Jack only comes into his own as a character and as a person when he accepts that Locke was right all along. And to some people’s apparent satisfaction, Locke is shown to be the “winner” of their series-long argument.

But see, I really think this common interpretation misses the real point of the Jack/Locke dynamic. And that’s a shame, because when you see what’s really going on, it makes the show even that much more brilliant.

At the start of the series, the show – and the characters themselves – label Jack and Locke Man of Science and Man of Faith. But if you really think about it, both men are absolutely terrible representations of their respective worldviews.

Jack, the so-called Man of Science, is from the very beginning hardheaded, stubborn, inflexible and, seemingly, completely incapable of recognizing exactly how crazy the island is. He witnesses quite a bit of it himself – the pilot getting yanked out of the plane, his father’s empty coffin and apparent ghost wandering around, the strange coincidences involving everyone’s lives leading up to the crash, and on and on – and yet he’s always reaching, sometimes to the point of incredulity, for a "rational" explanation and refuses to accept anything else. But the entire point of being a Man of Science should be that a person is capable of adjusting their conception of reality to fit with any new information they take in. The Scientific Method requires that hypotheses change with new data. And for a very long time, Jack, for all his great leadership qualities and incredible determination to protect his friends, is either incapable or refuses to do that, burying his head in the sand in regards to the special qualities of the Island, especially when Locke tries to point them out to him. That’s not at all how a Man of Science ought to act.

And Locke, for his part, though he’s an amazing survivalist and general badass, represents all of the worst parts of a so-called Man of Faith. He’s massively arrogant, suffers from a severe case of Main Character Syndrome, and is impulsive, reckless and even careless in his pursuit of anything that proves he might be somehow “special” or have some important “destiny” that gives him a purpose. He completely ignores other people’s desire to leave the island because he thinks he knows better (like when he blows up the submarine), he murders Naomi, an unarmed woman, in cold blood because she threatens his delusions of grandeur, and he lets Ben manipulate him for the better part of three seasons simply because he’s so obsessed with keeping everyone else on the island, even against their will, and being named this special person with some wonderful destiny.

And really, if you think about it, based on these two guys’ backstories, this all makes sense. Jack is a man whose entire life is based on having an answer to every question, one that he can easily define and categorize, because it has to in order to do his job. And the one other time in his life he experiences something that others might call a “miracle,” namely, saving Sarah’s life when he was sure she was doomed, eventually led to his marriage and his relationship with his father both falling apart, and indirectly to his father’s death, for which Jack still blames himself. And Locke, who was abandoned and then betrayed by his father and conned by his birth mother, who felt so utterly useless in his career, in his disability, in every part of his life, and was even turned away from the one thing he’d really wanted (the Walkabout) right before boarding the plane, suddenly finds himself on the island with his disability healed and his control suddenly returned to him, and so naturally clings to the idea that there must be something special about both the Island in general and him in particular.

But by the end of the show, Jack has finally learned that he can allow his worldview to change, that he can let his opinions and perceptions adapt to the new information he receives and not lose himself in the process, and that things he can’t immediately explain or define – the “miracles” of the island – don’t always have to be his enemy. He finally begins acting like a real Man of Science should be acting. And it’s only then that he can truly save everyone - his friends, the Island, the world, himself – and be the leader he tried so hard to be at the beginning.

And Locke, when we see him outside the church right at the end, has finally come to realize that a real Man of Faith understands that he’s only a part – a major part, sure, but only a part – of a larger narrative, that willingness to believe can be dangerous as well as uplifting, and that he can help the people he cares about fulfill their destinies without forcing his own upon them. He finally gets that he doesn’t need external validation to prove that he’s special, that he can be worthy of purpose and community and love just by being him. That’s how a real Man of Faith would see the world.

So in the end, the idea that the show is about Jack going from a Man of Science to a Man of Faith, I think, gets it wrong. Jack doesn’t go from Man of Science to Man of Faith, he slowly grows into an actual Man of Science. And Locke is only ever actually a Man of Faith at the end of his arc, not at the beginning. The end of this arc is these two men finally growing into the roles they and the show incorrectly – or perhaps prematurely - assigned to themselves way back at the start. That, to me, is the most brilliant part of the whole thing.

fight me if yall want I just wanted to put that out there for my man. I finished the series two weeks ago & it’s been on my mind 😹

Basically the title, I've been thinking: I really like the series, it has its ups and downs but I generally like it so much because of the characters. But one thing that makes close people to me not want to watch is how much episodes per season there is, and let's be honest, it's way too much for today standards. That being said, do you people think a remake in the serialized style of today would work? Like 10-14 episodes at max, bigger budget and etc. (Not made by Netflix though, but something like maybe Hulu, Max, maybe?)

I don't really want to stress any of the characters' "stupid decisions" based on emotional lability. I only want to talk about intelligence here. Like the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills, adapting to situations, finding solutions, solving riddles, etc. I'd say it's probably Ben but Locke has to be up there. Also Daniel Faraday and his mother Eloise, I think both of them are brains.

Anyone else find it funny that Claire delivered Aaron in just less than a minute, like before Charlie could even come back with the blankets?

Through all my tears it just really made me laugh lmao

I’m dying to watch it (note that I’m not very familiar with torrenting so if that’s needed, I’ll need a breakdown of the steps) please please please somebody. Also, as a point of discussion does anyone have any thoughts on the experience of watching the chronological edit? I’m sure I’ve seen every episode at least once. I’ve probably rewatched the first few seasons a few times and earlier episodes more than a few, but would love to see it in order!!!

The scary theme music swells, and the screen cuts to black with that weird “slam” noise. It was the best kind of TV in 2004-2010.

Question is, how do you describe that ending noise? Is it an airplane door shutting? A faraway explosion? A bowling ball hitting a pin? I can’t put my finger on it.

PS. How great was it when it was a false ending, and there was something else in store?

So far I have a island, a plane, a polar bear but I want a few more for a game. Any ideas?

She is stubborn, does not understand what people would like around her, she think she know better what her friends want. Why can she not just settle with Sawyer after sleeping with him? Why does she care about Jack? She has made a decision - it is pathetic to go back to him.

Also, she makes stupid decisions and her actions are irrational. For example, she fights Julia, even if Julia is trying to be friendly with her. She is just irritating.

She often engages in impulsive and risky behavior, putting herself and others in danger. To me, it makes her character frustrating to watch, especially when her actions have negative consequences. She just has zero empathy.

Additionally, why the hell are they choosing to return to the primitive camp instead of remaining in the comfort of the village? It seems more practical for everyone to relocate there.

So in this episode, a lot of shit happens obviously lmao, but one thing I’m wondering is in the foot statue, did Jacob know Ben was going to kill him? Did he intentionally let Ben kill him so a new island protector could be chosen? Just thought of this when watching the show for like the 12th time lol.

So, the LOST show aired its first episode on September 22nd, 2004, and its last episode aired on May 23rd, 2010.

Supporting cast…

And that’s it!

The only purpose Shannon played was a pseudo love interest to her own brother and a love interest to Sayid other than that she did nothing for the story like literally nothing just a person that’s there and I will die on the hill that she did nothing and shouldn’t have been in the show at all

I’m new to watching lost and I’m like half way through s2. I’ve really enjoyed the show so far but I’m starting to lose interest in it. I don’t want to stop watching bc I know a lot of shows get worse before they get better, my brother told me that he lost interest around this time too but has now completed the show. Anyone else feel this way?
